Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill — Do not allow appeals against rejected asylum claims from within the UK if the claim is unfounded — 11 Jun 2002 at 21:45

The amendment disallows rejected asylum seekers from appealing against the decision from within the UK if their claim was wholly unfounded. This applies where the person is being removed to a country where their human rights will be protected.

This vote was virtually identical to another vote here except that it affected different parts of legislation[2].

The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill became law in 2002. Its main aims were to:[3]

Allow asylum seekers to be detained at any time

Disallow appeals from within the UK from failed asylum seekers who are citizens of a specific country

Deny asylum seekers support unless they make their claim "as soon as reasonably practicable" after arrival into the UK
